I decided to try this recipe on my card club, and it was a big success. They loved it. The recipe can be swapped around and changed in so many different ways and always turns out as an awesome appetizer or great-looking centerpiece over a hand of cards.

2 ounces cream cheese, softened

1-1/2 teaspoons spicy ranch salad dressing mix

2 slices deli ham

2 whole dill pickles

Directions

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and dressing mix. Spread over ham slices. Place a pickle on each ham slice. Roll up tightly; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Cut each wrap into six slices.Yield: 1 dozen.

"I've made this exact recipe (with a couple of modifications) for years and we've always loved them & they're always a huge hit!!! I've always made them using Granulated Garlic and Onion Powders and S/P. The Ranch Dressing Mix would actually make it much easier....so I like that part of your version better.

However, a KEY STEP in what I do is, that I lay out the Ham and Pickles on paper towel the night before to try and wick out some of their moisture...thus, not making the Ham & Pickle Wrap too wet once assembled. I've forgotten to do this and I find it to make a big difference. Good luck and happy eating...they're AWESOME!!!!"

"These are so simple and oh so good. I used little gerkins and the kids had a blast gobbling these up! So worth giving them a try."

"These are crazy good. I now have to bring them to our meet up groups and family gatherings constantly. It is amazing that something so simple is so good. Need to make sure that you dry the pickles and the ham before rolling them up. Love these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
